Brenda Randazzo Manley's newest teen novel, The Misfits of Millville, shares the warm spirit of camaraderie and a bold message on the joys of not fitting in. In this, her sixth book for young readers, Manley weaves a magical tale in which a group of friends ridiculed by their fellow classmates make the most of what makes them unique to distinguish themselves as victors in the unending battle between the cool and the not-so-cool kids. In doing so, they learn a valuable lesson on character, self-esteem, and friendship.
